Zaira Bas, is a sure hit for one of the titles, she has been doing pretty good all through out the competition.

Maria Alexandra Rodriguez, this lass performed as what is being expected from her despite having a short-term training. ( Note: She's supposed to compete next year but the reigning Miss Earth Venezuela- Stephanie De Zorsi was dethroned due to personal reason. )

Alankrita Sahai, she's really one of the favorites to win the crown. With her aura and stage performance no wonder she got what pageant enthusiasts are looking for on a winner.

Maria Jose Alvarado is crowned the new Miss Honduras in San Pedro, Sula, Honduras, April 26, 2014. The dark-haired beauty was to have flown to London Wednesday to compete in the Miss World pageant - the high point of her reign as Miss Honduras. But the beauty queen and her sister were found shot dead , police said the sister's boyfriend confessed to killing them in a jealous rage over his girlfriend dancing with another man.

Bodies believed to be 19-year-old Maria Jose Alvarado and her 23-year-old sister, Sofia, were discovered buried near the spa where they disappeared a week earlier while celebrating the boyfriend's birthday. Their bodies were discovered early Wednesday after Ruiz led investigators to the remote gravesite where he and an alleged accomplice buried them in a mountainous area of Santa Barbara.

"We had her gown ready and her traditional dress costumes," said television personality Salvador Nasrallah, who employed Alvarado as a model on his TV game show, X-O Da Dinero. "This is not a crime of passion; this is machismo," added Nasrallah, a former presidential candidate.

Honduras pageant organizer Eduardo Zablah said the country will not compete this year because of the tragic death of Alvarado, who according to her pageant profile played volleyball and soccer and wanted to be a diplomat after graduating university.

The sisters' mother, Teresa Munoz, told Televicentro that Ruiz called her the morning after her daughters disappeared, acting nervous and claiming the young women had left the party in a car with some other people. She said her daughters were trusting and naive. "They were not very astute about assessing the people around them. They were just friendly," Munoz said. "They were going out with people they hadn't known very long."

"Violence against women is a huge problem in Honduras," said Adriana Beltran, a senior associate at the Washington Office on Latin America. "A lot of girls die this way, but because they're not famous, it doesn't get the attention and the crimes go unpunished," Nasrallah said.

Undaunted by the cancellation of Miss Intercontinental and pressures to bring home the crown, Kris Tiffany Janson expresses her confidence to bring home the title for the country. Kris is set to leave for Germany on November 22 to take part in pre-pageant activities on the lead up to the Miss Intercontinental happening onDecember 5 in Maritim Hotel and Congress, Magdeburg.

“I respect the decision of the organizers to move the pageant, with the utmost consideration on the international pageant contestants’ safety. Ona personal note though, I do pray that the conflict in Jordan be resolved, and that its citizens be safe from casualties.”

Asked about whether she feels pressure, Kris maintains a confident stance. “I know I have the courage and strength deep within to represent the Philippines in Miss Intercontinental. I have my own personality to showcase and the unique characteristics of the Filipina to allow mw to stand out in the competition,” Kris shares.

Her inspiration to win also runs deep, as she dedicates her journey to the crown to her late father. “I pull strength from my dad who was the first person to encourage me to join beauty pageants. I want to realize his dreams for me and make him proud.”

Modesty aside, Kris’ power combination of beauty and brains topped off with years of experience in modeling and pageants puts her in a good position to dominate the competition. Kris’ background boasts of a decade in modeling and a successful career as a finance analyst.

Kris spent months in rigorous preparation for the pageant, with back to back trainings for personality development, Q &A, social graces, pasarela, hair and makeup. She also immersed herself in the history culture of Jordan and learned the Arabic language.

Giving her an even bigger advantage was her training with the former beauty queens, Shamcey Supsup, Venus Raj, Bea Santiago and Johanna Datul. Their expertise and actual pageant experiences gave her inspiration as well as real life advice on the competition. “Know yourself and carry yourself well, believe in yourself and your capability to be a winner” are words from the different beauty queens that Kris takes to heart.
